FLORENCE<br />
Yes you are. Edward, you are!<br />
EDWARD<br />
You’re talking bloody nonsense.<br />
FLORENCE<br />
I’m trying to...<br />
EDWARD<br />
You’re the one who stops us getting<br />
close. When we hold hands you think<br />
you’re doing me a favour. You’re so<br />
stuck up!<br />
FLORENCE<br />
Is that what you think..?<br />
EDWARD<br />
It bloody well is what I think...<br />
FLORENCE<br />
Then why are you here? Why are you<br />
chasing me down the beach? Why can’t<br />
you let me sit here by myself<br />
He does not answer. After raised voices, silence. They pull back<br />
from a full-on row. The mood level subsides. Florence is<br />
thoughtful.<br />
FLORENCE (CONT’D)<br />
Edward, I want to make you happy. But<br />
I think I’m always a disappointment.<br />
You’re always advancing, I’m always<br />
backing away. And we can’t talk about<br />
it. We can never just be happy. Or<br />
just be. You’re always demanding<br />
something more, and I’m useless at,<br />
you know... And you go silent and<br />
unhappy and it’s all my fault. And<br />
when I do, I mean when I say yes to<br />
something even if I don’t really want<br />
to, I know there’ll be another thing<br />
that I’m expected to do... I’m no<br />
good at these demands...<br />
This word gets to him.
